I believe mass manufacturing drives down the prices. Book owners like to read something that is handheld ~6inches. Book readers won't buy large eink devices.
I don't think the eink screens are that costly. It may have something to do with the demand.
This is ridiculously expensive

And the Sony Digital Paper is expensive too.
I would love to see more phone cases with eink screens.

- ableal 9y agoI see EUR 629 at https://remarkable.com/store/reMarkable-and-marker https://remarkable.com/store/reMarkable-and-marker Not cheap, but for that niche it seems a good iteration on the Kindle DX. I don't know how much better/faster the screen is, but the weight reduction looks good ... (226 dpi, 350 grams vs. 150 dpi, 535 grams)
